We have never had a problem with FreeBSD and Cisco using em and bge. They do take a while to come up but that's just Cisco being Cisco.
By default all ports participate in spanning-tree, which is probably any delay you're seeing. You can setup host ports by explicitly setting them up as access ports and then turning on "spanning-tree portfast". That makes the ports come up almost immediately.
I've never had a problem with Intel (em/fxp) or Broadcom (bge/bce) using auto-neg on any Cisco switch made in the last 8-10 years.
